Just my humble opinion- the Forum is a means to enrich members photographic skills through constructive critiques/ healthy discussions on the photos displayed either in a competition or otherwise. One may like or dislike a photo but he should try to reason it out- a novice may say it in simple terms, an expert in technical terms. But this should be done and taken in right spirit on both the sides.

Thanks, davidwozhere

Beautiful images, very well recreated morning mood ! Liked the second one the most !

Thanks friends, appreciate your comments. As an experiment these were shot JEPG, processed in LAB mode and sharpened ( pre and post ) in NIK . Agree, results are spoilt images

I have tried 'multiple exposures' for long exposure effect without nd filter. On my K5ll max limit is 9 exposures. For desired effect you need to shoot in low-light conditions, use a narrow aperture (high f-number), a slow shutter speed (as long as your camera allows), and set your ISO to the lowest possible value.In bright daylight, even with a small aperture and low ISO, the exposure might still be too bright to achieve a long exposure effect without an ND filter. I, however, prefer long exposure nd filter way.

Thanks Steve for your nice words, appreciate. You are lucky to be living near such a beautiful place

Very nice mono set ! Liked the 5th with curved street and the depth ! Wish someone had been walking in the street to make the image complete -superb

Liked the first one more ! Don't you try long exposure with nd filter for such scenes ?
